February Forecast

Our February meetings have been rearranged because of Palm Creek events. Note we begin and end the month with regular meetings and hold two workshops in the middle weeks.

February 7 Meeting: We'll hear all about city directories (and a few other types) from Maureen. When your ancestors disappear between censuses, these resources may help. And yes, there are city directories available for Canada!

February 14 Workshop: Annie will provide a list of ideas for locating your ancestors' home towns. Sometimes luck plays a part!

February 21 Workshop: DNA is the topic this week. Diane plans a brief overview of the DNA process as well as discussing some of the techniques for assessing your results.

February 28 Meeting: Maureen (the other Maureen) is telling the story of a Canadian woman's homesteading experiences in "From South Africa to Alberta." 


Each week during February we will provide copies of handouts from this season's presentations. Look for them on the counter by our library. And check out a book while you're browsing the handouts!


February 17: Annie will present "Research Traps to Avoid" at the Vista Grande Library as part of the library's Journey to Your Past series.
